A Blogger Summer Gift Exchange

6.19.2015

At Christmas our group of blogfriends did a gift exchange (here) and we enjoyed it so much that we decided to do it again. So a couple weeks ago, we all wrote something about where we're from (here) and then this week we're revealing the gifts we received. I sent my gift to Sarah, you'll have to visit her to see what that little Californian sunshine got.

As for me, I got a fantastic package in the mail from Katie in Long Island. I giggled all the way home with the messages that she wrote all over the box.

As for its contents, Katie was able to teach me about her world in a beautifully written note. (Long Island is actually an island!!!)
The gal is a teacher, through and through.
I have been to NYC 6 times and haven't explored the area outside of Manhattan, unless you could the outlets in Jersey.
Wait, that's a lie, I've been to Cooperstown.
Anyway, what I really liked about this exchange was learning about these corners of the world that I would perhaps have not learned about otherwise. And you can bet that next time I get to NYC, I will be hopping a ferry or a tugboar over to Long Island to visit my new friend!
Thanks for the fantastic beer class and Long Island shaped cutting board, Katie.....I have already put them to good use!
